I'm somewhat surprised that some attorney has not turned this into one of those " class action lawsuits " yet. In this world of lawsuits for almost anything, the loss of use to COMSUMERS, not the government, is obvious. Time between the notices sent out for defective airbags, and the time the actual repairs are done has stretched out well beyond what one would expect for a safety defect. The loss of value, loss of full use, or in some cases, risks taken by the owners is a no brainer, almost a no contest in court. Consumers didn't get what they paid for. Products Safety commission charging a heavy fine to the manufactures and them pocketing the fine doesn't get it, consumers affected should be apportioned the fine baised on how long it took to get the repair/replacement done. Problem with all of this is the attorneys usually end up pocketing most of the settlements.

Called the local Toyota dealer last week.
I am in Florida until late April, and the Corolla is not with me.
Advised service mgr. that I need a Toyota supplied rental, until my safety recall is completed.
Also advised him that about April 22nd I will be taking the rental to my summer residence in Canada.
Explained that I will be back in the USA in early June, but then back in Canada from July 20th until October 15th. This could get very interesting!
He stated that he would look into expediting the Takata replacement part, but also told me that they WILL give me a temp. replacement car.
